My professors have used and recommended Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace. I've found it pretty useful!
The Elements of Style is the classic reference and I've probably read it over a dozen times, but it has seen a pretty big backlash and it does contradict itself in some humorous ways. I'd recommend Style: Ten Lessons In Clarity And Grace by Joesph M. Williams. I found it much more clear and sensible than TEOS. In addition, I'm a big fan of Garner's Modern American Usage, not as a book on grammar but as a reference for use during composition. For what it's worth, I got both of these recommendations from professional editor John McIntyre. (But TEOS has Stephen King's blessing, so there's that as well.) Those and King's On Writing are the only writing books I've ever been able to stomach.
Random, but I found the book that helped me a lot. Here's an amazon link.
I like this book. If I remember correctly, it is somewhat light on formal grammar, as it is a style guide, but it offers many useful structural tips that help make grammar errors less likely.
Edit: I should mention, there aren't many practical exercises in recent editions, though you can easily make your own from what the guide is telling you by applying them to your own writing, news papers, etc.
